The history of the international fraternity of Freemasonry is riddled
with secrets. Attempting to make a definitive account of its beliefs,
rituals and influence would prove to be an extremely difficult, if not
impossible, task. By their very nature, the Freemasons are a mysterious
group, and although in the 21st century they claim to be “less a secret
society and more a society with many secrets,” they do not relinquish
covert information to non-members readily. What is known about the
Freemasons is that a phenomenal number of great innovators, thinkers and
influential individuals have been, upon closer inspection, members of
this shadowy organization. The following inventive and original minds
all, in their own ways, changed the world — and they were also all
members of the Freemasons.
